In this Tuesday Tip, I am going to share how to create this card and you can share with me what you think is the best thing about a pocket card!

Hi Connie, thank you for your videos, the one about how to resize the shape dies has revolutionised my card making! I really like the guillotine/scorer that you use and wondered if you couldtell me what type it is. Many thanks. Jan

This is one of the best gift card holders/cards ever. While it looks hard to make, it comes together quite easily. I have made six so far for Christmas gifts with three more to go at this point.. A perfect way to give a gift card and use up 12 x 12 DSP. Thank you for the video tutorial and idea. Happy Holidays!!!

Hi Connie, just came across the pocket gift card idea from 2 years ago. Must have missed this great idea before! Going to work the idea up for my Christmas Thank You’s this year. A good way to use up the Heart Warming Hugs paper I have been hoarding, love that paper !!! Thanks again for your great tutorials. Mary Kay Dufault South Dakota
